This user rescues articles for the Article Rescue Squadron.

Hello to the Wiki world. I recently felt compelled to edit, as well as put forth content to the Wikipedia. I endeavored, to near obsession, to proffer the most appropriate and factual inclusions or strikes to improve the article. Being new to this arena, I may have fallen short of my intentions. I am eager to watch the page become as good as possible and anticipate the future revisions from others necessary to reach this objective. Any comments meant to improve my ability to participate in this privilege are requested, See Ya out there, and thanks in advance for assistance you may provide through your comments. Also be assured, I will reply to constructive encouragement, as well as re-butt discrepancies in order to respectfully reach the lofty goal of completeness and correctness. So that's my initial testimony and I'll close by saying perhaps in the future we might relax and read a good math book. I recommend "Mathematics for the Million", how to master the magic of numbers by Lancelot Hogben. The book was published in 1936 and extensively revised to the 1967 revision I own and have twice read. Don't be discouraged at the thought of one who enjoys the read of a math book, but rather know that this book was read and thoroughly enjoyed by Albert Einstein as well, of which I consider good company. And be glad that this world has so many different kinds. How could one ever get board?

Hi, My76Strat. This is NOT an automated message...it's from a real person. And you can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes. Play in your user area. For example, create User:My76Strat/test. Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009. When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. There's lots of information below.
